Cheese and crackers you did good! That stupid machine hates me- I get retarded coupons from there for candy.... I don't NEED candy. I want it to give the make up or especially the Zyrtec coupons. I feel that is must 'know' that and so I get none. Good job though!
ReplyDeleteI will tell you all a little secret that I know about the red scanner machine....if you DON'T scan your card as often, you will get better coupons! I know this because I've been "testing" this theroy of mine for the last 4 months. I have 2 cards, (I know you're only supposed to have one per household, but my CVS manager is the one who actually suggested I get one in my hubbys name, so I didn't argue). Anyway, I noticed every time I went in I was scanning both cards back to back & the second card would never get good coupons, only candy, etc so I thought I would "test" it by not ever scanning my second card, well that worked, I started getting better coupons on my first card! Then I noticed I was scanning my card EVERY time I went in, even if I was just there price checking, or checking on clearance I would scan my card & I was back to getting the same exact coupons, or candy coupons or "no coupons available today". So I went a whole week w/o scanning my card and when I scanned the next time I got great coupons!! So now, I only shop once a week and even then I sometimes don't scan my card & I will get good coupons at the end of my receipt (that's where the Zyrtec coupon came from). I try to only scan my card once every 2 weeks or so & I never scan my second card anymore. I think the machine has been programed to give "generic" coupons to those who shop regularly, but to give high value coupons to those who don't shop as often as an incentive to get them back into the store. (Only my opinion!) Try "testing" my theroy on your cards & see if it works for you, & lmk the outcome!
